Sky News: Presentation Discussion

A clock showing the local time is now put beside the "live" logo.
So far I am very disappointed. No special ToTH , no special election music and so on. Simply nothing compared to 4 years ago...

Four years ago Sky had different objectives in the way they broadcast. Since then, they've become less sensationalist and their presentation has changed to a more minimalist, serious style. I highly doubt they'll go over the top with fancy music and graphics this time,

If so , they should at least scrap every music sequence, because the current theme has become torturous.

And have the TOTH silent? I think going into breaks silent is enough.

I remember four years ago forumers giving out about Sky's election graphics being like Fox and over the top. Seems they cant win with you lot!

Hugely impressed by the U.S election coverage so far. The amount of resources being ploughed into it evident in the opening 20 minutes or so of the 6pm hour - JT in Chicago, Dermot in Boston, Tim Marshall in Ohio, Sophy Ridge in Colorado, Michelle Clifford in Iowa, Nick Martin in New York plus Martin Stanford at the newswall looking at the electoral map. Superb coverage.

Looks like the Chicago set will be the primary coverage point on Tuesday night - Jeremy tweeted a picture of the set up earlier,

I will probably still follow the results on the American networks but great to see Sky upping their game this year, the 2008 coverage was a bit all over the place I thought.

I guess they're holding Burley back, until the morning.

^Yes, think I read she is presenting Sunrise from there tomorrow - should be an interesting watch!

Special voiceover too: "Sky News - live across the United States".

Normal voiceover at this TOTH.

Sky news is on something right now, chopping and changing presenters and location every 5mins...

And even a great special JRL opening! Very , very nice indeed!
